Feeling the gazes of everyone, Liao Nanxing found it even harder to speak.
He even began to consider that the wedding he had agreed to for Su Mu might not be able to be a grand affair.
Because the people present are not only his classmates and teachers, but also his future support and resources.
He didn't want to sacrifice his own path to success just to please Su Mu.
As for Su Mu, he still had other ways to appease him.
That's right!
Just as I was trying to come up with an excuse to get out of this, the clattering of high heels drew everyone's attention.
Liao Nanxing turned her head and gasped in shock... How did she get here!
“Anan.” Su Mu stood there, dressed in a long maternity dress.
Although it's clear that a lot of effort was put into her makeup, it still couldn't hide her round, chubby face with no defined features.
"Old Liao? And this is...my sister-in-law?" Liu Zhiwen greeted her politely and warmly called over a waiter to add a seat and more bowls and chopsticks.
"Hello, hello! I've heard about you from Lao Liao before. I've never had the chance to meet you. Today, Lao Liao finally has a conscience and is willing to call you out so we can see your beautiful face."
Liu Zhiwen started, and the others began to give their names.
Su Mu, who was being praised, smiled so much that his eyes and nose were almost invisible.
After greeting everyone, she respectfully bowed to Teacher Shao in the main seat before taking her seat, and then addressed Liao Nanxing as "Teacher".
"Alright, alright, don't be so polite. Sit down and let's talk, sit down and let's talk." Teacher Shao greeted Su Mu like a father.
The atmosphere at the table was incredibly harmonious.
When Su Mu sat down and saw Zhou Chunhua, his smiling face instantly froze.
Why is Zhou Chunhua here? Isn't this Anan's class reunion? Could it be... that Anan brought her? Then what is her identity? Countless questions flooded Su Mu like a tidal wave.
She couldn't help but want to get up and question him.
Upon noticing the problem, Liao Nanxing quickly pulled Su Mu, who was about to stand up, back to his seat.
When Su Mu came to his senses, he was not angry at all. Instead, he raised his chin at Zhou Chunhua.
He mocked Zhou Chunhua with that disdainful, arrogant gaze and expression.
Zhou Chunhua sneered as she got up and went to the restroom.
Su Mu immediately followed.
Inside the restroom, Su Mu blocked the doorway.
She stared at Zhou Chunhua in the washroom mirror with a gloomy gaze.
Looking at her now, Zhou Chunhua is even more beautiful than she was at the dinner table earlier.
I never expected Zhou Chunhua to change so much after leaving Liao Nanxing, so much so that I didn't even recognize her just now.
Moreover, Zhou Chunhua's current appearance makes her even more repulsive than the bloated fat woman she used to be!
Especially now that the two of them are both in the mirror, the contrast makes her even more unhappy.
Why are you here?
Anan clearly stated that Zhou Chunhua gave up her university studies in order to marry him.
Since he didn't even finish university, there's even less reason for him to have any connection with Anan.
So... dressed like this, and showing up here...
Su Mu's hands were clenched into fists.
Don't even think about it!
Sensing hostility, Zhou Chunhua helplessly wiped the water off her hands with a tissue.
She knew, of course, why Su Mu had come.
That's why she lured Su Mu to the restroom.
She didn't want Gu Yao to lose face in front of his mentor and senior classmates because of her conflict with Liao Nanxing.
Looking into the mirror at Su Mu, she said, "Su Mu, to be honest, I don't hate you that much at all. On the contrary, I'm glad that you appeared and interfered. So, you don't need to be so hostile towards me, because your appearance and interference can be said to have saved the rest of my life."
She crumpled the tissue into a ball and threw it into the trash can at her feet.
"Since you called me 'Mom,' I'll give you one last piece of advice. If you choose the wrong partner in your life, every step you take for the rest of your life will be a mistake."
You will experience all the hardships of life and face difficult choices. When you reach my age, you will realize that appearance and wealth are not as important as we think.
What matters most is character, responsibility, and the values and upbringing ingrained in one's family of origin. Therefore, choosing who to marry truly makes a difference.
Some people enter your life and make you feel that life is worthwhile; they become your light. Others, however, have only one purpose: to extinguish your light, making you feel that life is worthless, and that no matter how wonderful the world is, you wouldn't want to come back in your next life.
Zhou Chunhua, wearing high heels, walked gracefully past Su Mu.
Su Mu, who had come to question Zhou Chunhua, stood there as if someone had struck his pressure points, unable to come to his senses for a long time.
As soon as Zhou Chunhua came out of the restroom, she saw Gu Yao standing at the door.
"Why are you here too?" He didn't look like he was here to use the restroom; he seemed more like he was waiting for someone.
Gu Yaoyang raised the corners of his mouth and pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses.
“I’m afraid you’ll need your help. After all, she’s so pregnant now. If she slips and falls, it’ll be hard for you to distance yourself from the situation if you’re alone.”
Zhou Chunhua laughed and said, "She's just a little girl who likes to imagine rivals. I don't think I would risk a child like that."
The two walked back, chatting away.
Just as I was about to step out of the connecting corridor, I ran into Liao Nanxing, who was rushing over.
Zhou Chunhua didn't even glance at Liao Nanxing, passing by him as if they were strangers.
Gu Yao glanced at Liao Nanxing, then followed Zhou Chunhua away.
For some reason, Liao Nanxing suddenly felt an emptiness in her heart.
However, without thinking too much, he rushed to the bathroom.
The child in Su Mu's belly was his son born late in life, and he couldn't afford to have any mishaps.
As soon as I arrived at the restroom door, I saw Su Mu come out of the restroom with a somewhat dazed expression.
"What's wrong? She didn't do anything to you, did she?" Liao Nanxing asked anxiously.
Su Mu shook his head, and the next second, he threw himself into Liao Nanxing's arms.
"Anan, why is she here? You...is there something you haven't told me?"
"Can you stop being unreasonable?" Liao Nanxing pushed the person away impatiently.
Once they confirmed she was alright, they planned to send her away first.
After all, Su Mu's sudden appearance would be difficult to explain to everyone later.
"Where are you taking me?" Su Mu tried to break free. "You still haven't explained to me why she was at your class reunion!"
Liao Nanxing said unhappily, "Enough! I didn't know she was here before I came. Listen to me, go back first. I'll explain everything to you properly when I get home tonight."
Upon hearing that Liao Nanxing wanted to send him away, Su Mu immediately became furious.
"You're lying! Liao Nanxing, you're lying! I saw the way you looked at her! You regret it, don't you? You saw that she's become more and more beautiful now, while I'm becoming more and more like the old her, so you regret it! You divorced her and married me, didn't you?"
